Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Inter Miami is 7.15, compared to 6.97 for Chicago Fire. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Inter Miami's highest-rated starter is L. Messi (8.60), while Chicago Fire's best-rated player is H. Cuypers (7.83).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Inter Miami have contributed 65 goals and 68 assists this season, led by L. Messi (35G). Chicago Fire's starters account for 15 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded by H. Cuypers (11G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Inter Miami deploy 4 defenders rated 6.88 on average, against Chicago Fire's 3-man backline averaging 6.79. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Inter Miami field 4 midfielders averaging 7.05, versus Chicago Fire's 4 rated 6.77. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Inter Miami start 2 forward(s) averaging 7.94, compared to 3 for Chicago Fire averaging 7.53. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 54% for Inter Miami and 81% for Chicago Fire. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Inter Miami's starters have collected 51 yellow cards this season, compared to 11 for Chicago Fire. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Inter Miami's starting XI is 30.5 (youngest: T. Aviles (21), oldest: O. Ustari (39)), while Chicago Fire average 26.9 (youngest: C. Brady (21), oldest: J. Elliott (30)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Inter Miami's starters average 28 league appearances each, versus 9 for Chicago Fire. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
